The Dots is a professional network positioning itself as a "LinkedIn for creatives," focused on connecting 'No Collar' creative professionals and teams. Its product collects data on complete project teams to create a "high-trust" network of members who have actually worked together. The company claims about a quarter of a million members and lists clients including Google, Burberry, Sony Pictures, Viacom, M&C Saatchi, Warner Music, Tate, Discovery Networks and VICE. The Dots plans to layer machine learning over its team data to offer personalized recommendations to clients and ultimately enable full-team hires rather than only individual placements. It raised a £4m investment round led by Hambro Perks, which the company says will be used to bolster its market position ahead of international expansion. Founded in 2014 by Pip Jamieson, The Dots says it is targeting an estimated 80 million 'No Collar' millennial professionals globally and cites recruitment costs of about £11 billion annually, according to some figures.
